1916 in Ireland is often recognized as a tumultuous year marked by milestone events in the nation’s history, such as the Easter Rising and the Battle of the Somme. But through all the inconveniences, shortages and restrictions the preoccupation of normal life persisted. It is the language of the ordinary people; a husband’s witty letter to his wife discussing a forthcoming wedding; a child’s brief note to her mother, a few lines enquiring about gifts delayed in the post - that exemplifies the continuation of everyday life amidst the chaos of war and revolution.
